Hah, I bet the NCQA is just trying to make their job easier by letting health plans delegate everything. Meanwhile, the rest of us have to actually, you know, do the work.

Ooh, the accreditation standards get reduced if the delegate is already certified by the delegator's agency? That's an interesting loophole. I wonder if it's really that simple, though.

It could be a way to ensure that the delegate already meets certain quality standards.

Wait, the NCQA allows health plans to delegate all medical management functions? That seems like a lot of responsibility to hand off. I'd want to double-check that before answering.
